Entriq has been commissioned to provide DRM solutions to RTL online
for its new video-on-demand service called RTL NOW! Entriq provides
pay media solutions for broadcasters and content owners looking to
protect, monetize and securely deliver multi-media content; RTL
represents another world-leading broadcaster selecting Entriq�s
innovative pay media technical solution. The newly launched RTL
NOW! offers viewers, in Germany, the chance to watch hundreds of
hours of quality programming, in their own time. From �Deutschland
sucht den Superstar�, Germany�s own Pop Idol, to the cult soap
�Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten� or the popular U.S. dramas �CSI�
and �CSI Miami,� viewers can use the RTL NOW! to catch up on
episodes missed or, for selected shows, see certain episodes before
they go to air. RTL online�s chief executive Sushel Bijganath
commented, �The essential prerequisite for such a service for our
viewers, which we plan to continually expand over the coming
months, is a technically reliable and, above all, secure platform.
Thanks to the Entriq powered solution we can distribute our content
securely while guaranteeing that all the licensing rights,
especially those of our international partners, are reliably
protected.� �We are delighted to be working with RTL online and
help give their viewers a broad choice of content, when they want
it, at a compelling price,� added Entriq CEO Jan Steenkamp. �Indeed
our work with RTL reinforces our reputation as a global leader in
the field of pay media.� Entriq, which is a division of MIH Ltd., a

customers complete solutions designed to securely provide, market

efficiently delivered and sold over broadband to PC, mobile and

speed to market and low upfront investment costs, thus enabling
holders of rights such as TV broadcasters or distributors to
monetize their digital assets quickly and simply. The company�s
innovative solutions cover every aspect of digital rights
management; billing and digital movie stores also provide
broadcasters, as well as content originators, with full content
protection. In addition, the Security Plus service offered by
